Thought I should post a short update, since people are waiting so patiently for news of the baby's arrival. I went for my 41-week check-up two days ago and the non-stress test showed the baby's movement and heart rate to be normal and mature, ready for birth. I am still not barely dilated or effaced as has been the case for over 2 weeks, even though I have been feeling some cramping and "yucky" every night (poor Al having to put up with me after 6:00pm:). They checked fluid levels and I had low-normal fluids, but according to my doc, still normal and nothing to worry about or take action upon. So, the plan is, if the babe does not come on its own before Tuesday, to check my dilation and begin inducement on Wednesday, July 29, at the latest. Please continue to pray for safety and health for both the baby and I:) Thank you...
So, our little babe that we thought we would have by July 4, is going to end up being an end of July baby:) In reality, although I am not completely comfortable all day...it has been a great couple of weeks to play and spend time with Oakster...slowly get prepared for the new little one...and for Alan to get through the toughest part of his summer classes...God is wise and knows when the timing is best, we are confident of that!
Thank you for your continual prayers and kind thoughts, emails, phone calls...we'll update you as soon as anything happens!!
